Karunantie 4 a B

This charming semi-detached home is situated in the popular and leafy Ruskeasuo neighbourhood, right next to Helsinki Central Park. Its secluded setting combines the tranquillity of a peaceful residential area, immediate access to nature and the convenient access to the city centre in a way that is rarely found in the city.

Built in 1960, the home underwent a comprehensive renovation and refurbishment in 2019–2020 and has been carefully maintained ever since. Arranged over three floors, it offers versatile spaces to accommodate a family's changing needs, while the well-designed layout provides opportunities for both togetherness and privacy.The beautiful herringbone parquet and concrete spiral staircase make an immediate impression upon entering the home.

The heart of the home is a spacious and bright living room, opening towards the south and west. The sunny west-facing balcony is an inviting place to enjoy warm summer evenings and late-summer sunsets. The entrance floor also features the timeless kitchen, renovated in 2020, with oak worktops and integrated appliances, as well as a dining area spacious enough to accommodate a large dining table.

The upper floor comprises three light-filled bedrooms and a bathroom. The large hobby room on the basement level is a versatile space with direct access to the outdoor terrace. It is ideally suited as a second living area for the family, guest room, home office or studio.

The basement level also includes a stylish sauna area, a practical utility room and a separate WC. In the spacious sauna, you can enjoy the warmth of the sauna stove amid light aspen benches and a Tulikivi Huurre designer stove.

The technical systems of the house have also been updated: the domestic water pipes, drains and electrical systems were renewed in 2019–2020, and the entire basement level was completely rebuilt. The semi-detached house’s shared heat exchanger has been updated, and a fibre-optic connection was installed in 2025. The private yard easily accommodates two cars.

The home is complemented by a small, fenced garden facing south and west. The lush garden and sunken terrace provide ideal surroundings for enjoying summer days, outdoor dining, children’s play and peaceful moments spent gardening.

The location offers a rare combination of tranquillity and excellent accessibility. Central Park's extensive outdoor and recreational opportunities begin practically at your doorstep, while the city centre is easily accessible by bicycle, car and public transport. A local grocery store, day-care centres and schools are all within walking distance, as are a riding stable, dog park and, in winter, cross-country ski trails.

This home successfully combines the feel of detached-house living, a private garden and immediate access to nature – while remaining just a short distance from central Helsinki.

A rare opportunity for a family looking for space, tranquillity and effortless urban living.
